Google contacts credentials

Questions

Hi guys!

I’m on latest revision l, self hosted n8n. Since two days I’m trying to sort out google contacts credentials (other g features are working:

  • added properly credentials to n8n and logged in
  • my mail added as a test user
  • crud rights at google cloud console granted to g people

Despite above steps, when trying to get contact or any other operation related to contacts i still get 403 error from google contacts noce. Spent two days tinkering with it and I’m stuck. Help!

Hey! I’ve run into similar issues in n8n. A 403 with the Google Contacts node usually means the OAuth scopes are incomplete or weren’t accepted properly during the initial auth. Make sure you’ve enabled the People API, not just Contacts, and that your OAuth credentials in n8n include the full contacts scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts). After adjusting scopes, try reconnecting the account in n8n completely — sometimes re-auth is needed for scope changes to apply. Let me know if that helps!

Thanks for reply. I’m so desperate, that I created new cloud project, added all apis, deleted and added again all credentials and scopes and… nothing works. I’m starting to consider, that exporting the contacts database to baserow would be a good idea.
